Motherdearest,

Greetingsto you, Anyuta and Mitya from our Sunday
excursion. Nadya and I are cycling. Meudon Forest is a
good place and close by, 45 minutes from
Paris.[2]I have
received and answered Anyuta’s letter. A big hug from
myself and Nadya.

Yours,V. U.

[1]Thepicture postcard of Meudon Forest was sent to Lenin’s mother
who at that time was staying with Lenin’s brother Dmitry, a rural
doctor in the village of Lipitino, near Mikhnevo Station,
Serpukhov Uyezd, Moscow Gubernia.

[2]Inher memoirs, Nadezhda Krupskaya wrote: “Meudon is a small
town some nine kilometres from Paris. Thousands of Parisians
go there on holidays in summer to spend their time in the open
air. We often went there on weekdays, to cheer ourselves up and
to race through the marvellous woods of Meudon on our bicycles.”
